XO Bistro is one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants in the city. I love that they offer actual oxtail in their noodle soup (let a girl know if there are others!), and it’s even in their poutine!⁣

[$13.75] Oxtail Fries – This order alone wins me over. Not only is it a poutine, but it also has oxtail, a sunny side up egg, and fries. The oxtail gravy is given in a separate container so the fries don’t get soggy on the commute back home – fries were still very crispy!😍😍⁣

[$3/ea.] Skewers – You have the choice of chicken, beef, shrimp, or pork neck skewers; we ordered beef. These skewers are extremely meaty and flavourful. It comes with peanut sauce on the side as well.⁣

[$13.75] Pho with rare beef – A good classic. I like how the noodles are perfectly cooked. Like most noodle soups, the soup is in a plastic bag, and stored in a container to ensure nothing spills. The raw beef is also wrapped in plastic so the blood doesn’t You have the choice of adding more protein – oxtail costs extra. ⁣

[$13.75] Bun Bo Hue – Another popular one. Wasn’t too spicy at all, and the texture of the noodles were also perfectly cooked. If you order online, you can also choose what meats to add.⁣
